HC Deb 27 April 1927 vol 205 cc826-7
10. Captain GARRO-JONES

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether the negotiations with Germany for a mutual air traffic agreement have yet been concluded; and when they will be published?

Sir P. SASSOON

Good progress has been made in the negotiations for the agreement, which I hope that it will now be possible to sign at an early date.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Will this agreement include the right of our aeroplanes to fly over German territory on the way to Prague?

Sir P. SASSOON

Perhaps the hon. and gallant Member will wait and see the agreement, which will be signed very shortly.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Is the hon. Baronet aware that it is not a question of waiting and seeing. We have been waiting for three years to get this very important British line started, and it has been held up by Germany.

Sir P. SASSOON

This agreement does not depend only on one party.
